Answer 1

3b=150 should be the answer.

Answer 2

Answer: $\frac{b}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of students donated books in Hannah's school = 150

The number of books donated by students = b

The average number of books each student donated=$\frac{\text{total books donated}}{\text{total students}}$

Thus, The average number of books each student donated=$\frac{b}{150}$

Since, Hannah donated 3 times as many as the average number of books each student donated.

Then , the number of books donated by Hannah= $3\times\frac{b}{150}=\frac{b}{50}$
